Principal Announcements for St Patrick’s Primary School, Camperdown & St Colman’s Primary School, Mortlake

I am writing to inform you that Michael McKenzie will remain on Long Service Leave in 2022 until further notice.

I am pleased to announce that Tim Bourke has generously agreed to be the Interim Principal for St Patrick’s Primary School, Camperdown, for 2022.

Tim is a very experienced principal. He is currently the Principal of St Colman’s Primary School, Mortlake, where he has served since 2012. Prior to that Tim was the Principal of St Joseph’s Primary School in Coleraine for 1 year and Deputy Principal of Our Lady Help of Christians, Warrnambool East, for 5 years.

Stacey Atkins from St Pius X Primary School in Warrnambool West will replace Tim at St Colman’s.

I am very grateful for Tim and Stacey’s willingness to put the common good of the diocese before their own school and personal needs.

I am also very grateful for Annie Judd and the leadership team at St Patrick’s for leading the school through this challenging time.

Tom Sexton
Executive Director, Catholic Education Ballarat
